All Weaver Jack

Q. How are Weaver Jacks Different from other brands?
A. Weaver Long Chassis Service Jacks are made with a Welded Steel Frame. Other brands use a bolt together system. By using a welded frame, the jack has strong structural integrity and consequently achieves a lighter frame weight with the needed strength.. This reduced weight makes the Weaver Jack easier to handle and maneuver than other much heavier jacks. Weaver Jacks are the only brand made in the USA.
Q. Are Weaver Jacks Made in the United States of America?
A. Yes, in fact, Weaver Jacks are the only long chassis service jacks made entirely in the USA, from American Made Components. Other competitors are made from offshore components and are assembled in other countries.
Q. Why are some of the competing brands cheaper?
A. The answer lies in the question. To produce a cheaper product requires that they save money somewhere in the manufacturing process. What that means should be self evident. We routinely receive requests for seal kits for Weaver Jacks that have been in service for over 50 years.
Q. Some other brands weigh more...doesn't that mean they
are better?
A. No, that means that it takes a lot more steel to make a bolt together jack as strong as a Welded Frame Jack. It costs less to bolt a jack together, than to weld it.
Q. The Weaver Name has been around a long time, but so has
some of the competitors. In fact, we have a number of their jacks that we
have used for years.
A. You are correct, However....those competitor's brand names were purchased by Foreign Companies. They then redesigned the jack lines, keeping only the Brand Name. The current models made under the older well- known names are not the same as the older models you may have in your shop. If fact, most of the parts were discontinued for the jacks that you now may have. So...if you are thinking of ordering a new jack, with the same name that you may have used in the past...it is only the same in name only and does not use the same parts as your older models.
